Free agency week has arrived, and it's safe to expect the Raiders to pursue all sorts of available free agents to join a roster that needs plenty of reshaping. They've also got the No. 1 overall pick next month, which is expected to be used on Fernando Mendoza, the QB from Indiana. Of course, the Raiders didn't wait until free agency to get their offseason rolling. They've already traded away Maxx Crosby to the for a pair of first-round picks.
